For each event we ask for a donation of £40. Book two events at the same time and you can claim a £10 discount, book three to get £15 off the total donation and if you book all 4 you get a discount of £25! Entry is a charitable donation so if you are able to tick the Gift Aid box then that brings additional 25% benefit to the charities.

Our events are staffed entirely by volunteers and we get donations to cover some of the food costs. At least £25 of the entry fee goes to the charities.

No, we raise the charitable funds through the entry fees. However, if you wish, you can set-up a fundraiser online if you wish to raise additional funds, but this is not a requirement.

Yes, there is ample free parking at all our events.

With the prevalence of Garmins, Strava etc, and following feedback from riders, we have decided that electronic timing is no longer necessary and that a manual system will provide what is needed.

This means that you simply pick up your bike number on the day (no chips) and we will record start and finish times from there. A leader board for each route and sorted by gender will be on display throughout the event and afterwards.

The registration desk is open from 7.30am for you to collect your event number and chip. You can start anytime between 8am and 10am.
